County Games

Today's episode of Dealing with the County:  The form I submitted to the Recorder's Office was mailed back as missing information.  I looked it over carefully again, comparing it to other neighbor's forms that were successfully recorded.  I don't see the problem.  I email the office.  They tell me a "Grantee" must be listed on page 1.  I look at the form again.  There's no place for a Grantee to be listed.  I email again, and ask where the Grantee information should be filled in on the form.  She responded, "You're going to have to write it in."  Excuse me?  This is the form provided on your website!  And you're telling me it isn't asking for information you require?  I should have consulted my crystal ball before submitting so I'd know the county's form doesn't ask for all the information the county requires?  To top it off...the Grantee is King County.  THEIR form doesn't list THEIR name, and I should have somehow known that.  So now I've edited THEIR form and will resubmit.  We lost a week due to this.  The recorded form is due by July 16th...to another office within King County.  I can't even make this stuff up.
